of me, how did )ou come out with

following for publication. I think
best to give the cost of production

follow in this article. I shipped
157 crates which brought me $150.-

Repairing land for plants 5 00
Fertilizer 21.00
Crates and freight 14.52

Total cost of production $01.22

From the above figures, we have
$-14 45 per acre. I think there is
some money in truck farming and
it comes to the money ridden
farmer like a shower in a drought,
remunerating the packet in time of
need. I hope to make a better

and make a selection and advise me.
The school will open on the 22nd

A Remarkable Record.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has a remarkable record. It has
beeu in use for over thirty years,
during which time may million bot
tles have been sold and used. It
has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of
croup in thousands of homes, yet
during all this time no case has
ever been reported to the manufac
turer in which it failed to effect a
cure. When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse or even as
soon as the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. It is pleas
ant to take, many children like it.
It contains no opium or other
harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to
an adult: For sale by Cox & Co.,
